      abstract = {Frank Partnoy delivers a thrilling history lesson about an  era and a nearly century-old Wall Street scandal rooted in  unscrupulous investment banking and derivative hedge funds  techniques developed by one man--Ivar Kreuger. Kreuger made  his fortune in the 1920s by raising money from American  investors to lend to European governments in exchange for  match monopolies. Then he suddenly committed suicide in  1932. As his fraudulent schemes unraveled in the wake of  his death, the so-called "Kreuger crash" began, bankrupting  millions and leading to the enactment of the securities  laws of 1933 and 1934.},
